Hi all,
Again thanks for all your kind good words and messages of hope.
I held them as talismans as I went to work today. For those not in the know of my story, I held a management position (at the age of 29) of 10 people. It was particularly challenging in that the role was about looking after new business that my company had never handled before. Big pressure.
I stepped down for a couple of reasons. Firstly (and less substantially), because I didn't feel I had been provided with the tools and resources I needed to do a good job.
Secondly (and more importantly): as I pass through into sobriety, although I am not AF right now (I did 31 days AF through Jan wholly due to the helpfulness of this site), I am learning to tell the truth about things. That means that working for an Australian insurance company in that role does not suit my needs.
I has a wonderful experience today. Rather than being embarrassed about stepping down, I had many speeches of support from those around me.
When I think about it, time and time again in my life I have chosen to "step down" - but then it turns out not to be stepping down. Often it turns into a even bigger opportunity on a better path.
Thanks all!
